Intro

Welcome to Bitchmark Index, a blog for women in medicine who want to learn the language of money.

I’m a physician in my mid-thirties. So is my partner. Our household net worth is $1.45 million and our household income is $950,000 per year. We bring home equal portions.

I started working at fourteen in retail, camps, service jobs. Grants, scholarships, and debt got me through university. I then worked in the corporate world for a of couple years, and subsequently returned to school for medicine. My obsession with financial independence didn’t really ignite until residency: those years of underpaid labour, collapsing systems, and COVID-era chaos. Turns out exploitation is a fantastic catalyst for becoming an incisive bitch with a balance sheet.

I was lucky, too. I grew up in a major Canadian city with good public schools and social support. I’m white-passing. I met the right partner, early. I had “right time, right place” in ways that mattered.

My partner and I save roughly $700-800K annually into our corporation. Just over 80% of our total net-work is invested in globally diversified low cost index funds. Assuming a conservative 4–5% in real returns, we are on track to reach about $10M net-worth within the next decade.

I find those numbers hard to believe, and while I’m incredibly grateful for my current position and place of privilege, gratitude and humility aren’t the point of this blog. I am striving for more and trying to understand how I can continue to push my financial position and make money work for me. I want to optimize, to sharpen, to keep building. I’m a self-taught personal finance girlie because, deep down, I’m competitive and relentless. I hated feeling helpless at tax time. I cringed hearing “my husband/dad handles that.” I hated watching women portrayed as financial bimbos who shop while the “real adults” manage money. I am also deeply motivated by a desire to seek vengeance on my parents’ crueler, more limited lives.

I taught myself the language of money, and I’m still learning what wealth really means socially, politically, personally. I am rich, but I want to be wealthy. And, I want you to be, too. If you’re a vengeful bitch and you’re a high-earner that wants to learn more about how to make money work for you - this blog is for you!

I am not here to please you or to reassure you, so leave if you’re not ready to read what will likely come across as a smug, privileged woman’s takes on money and life. Thanks for reading Bitchmark Index!

Blog Post Title Two

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
